Keep it up!  I started both of my sons when they were around 2 and they both love to shoot.  Both of them are hitting moving targets that I roll in front of them now pretty consistantly!  Makes for some good quality time with the family also!

Way to go dads!   :clapper:  We need to get the young ones involved in worth while activities. Both the child and parent will never forget it.

Classic to-the-chest draw form used for countless centuries by short bow archers. Great intensity and concentration. He's a natural.

Full Draw is different for different folks but it has to be started somewhere. Bless you both and please see my Traditional Bows Drawn sect, Page8.

He made his first kill last week. He shot a 170lb Saint Bernard. Of course it was high fence and over bait, but hey he has to start somewhere.

Now THAT is what I like to see.  Great shots, great moments.

Anybody make those small bows ?  I have a chore for this summer, to make my young nephew a longbow (he asked !)  Any advice on stats.  I will be making a laminated (w/ glass) bow.
Later
